To finish off here’s me in my lovely new rain coat. The fit I think is good. Sleeves a tad too long.

Well after my water test whatever it is it’s going to be a great raincoat! Goat is great for what I paid!

Yeah I really don’t think it’s plastic. Sometimes there are no definitive answers! Nothing much on the company and the type of leather is best guess if there’s no tag. Given the condition it’s in for its age including the black one I just posted, it probably is goat. Your right about most of the...

Here’s a picture of the jacket I found which appears to be made at the same time.

Well. The jacket is highly water resistant. Took 1 hour to go. Goat, horse or plastic! For it to be plastic though the manufacturing leather tag with the hide symbol would have to be totally fraudulent. Here’s a close up of grain if anyone is interested Thanks for the research Nnatalie! That’s...

Exciting stuff ehh??!

Thanks for looking! I don’t know either! It looks good on me and whatever the leather is I think it’s lovely! Looks 50s 60s or 70s to me. That doesn’t nail it down much though. Nothing on the maker online so… It’s nice

Hello everyone, my name is suziq I love vintage stuff of all kinds tbh. I tend to get really obsessed about a particular thing (at the moment vintage leather jackets) I purchase some lovely goods, shoes, boots, watches, audio equipment. But the one thread seems to be vintage! Anyway… I don’t...
